A decorative serif with heavy, sculpted letterforms and sharply carved internal voids. Many strokes behave like solid blocks that are sliced by triangular and curved cut-ins, producing a consistent stencil-like rhythm and a strong play of positive/negative space. Terminals often resolve into wedge-like points rather than delicate hairlines, and curves (notably in O, C, G, and S) are built from broad arcs with intentional “bites” removed. The overall texture is dense and graphic, with compact counters and crisp edges that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, covers, posters, and branding where the carved forms can be appreciated and the strong silhouette can lead the layout. It also fits packaging and identity work that aims for a refined yet striking, boutique feel, especially when set with generous spacing and ample contrast against a clean background.
The font projects an assertive, fashion-forward tone with a hint of vintage poster lettering. Its cut and chiseled shapes feel theatrical and crafted, balancing elegance with a bold, attention-seeking graphic attitude.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif structures through a cutout, chiseled construction—creating familiar letter skeletons with a modern, graphic twist. Its emphasis on negative space and sharp incisions suggests a focus on high-impact display typography rather than long-form reading.
Numerals follow the same carved logic, with distinctive cut-ins that keep them cohesive with the capitals. The lowercase is relatively robust and maintains the same incised aesthetic, helping mixed-case settings look intentional rather than purely decorative.
